The Florida Panthers are hosting their annual Dads' Trip this weekend, travelling to St Louis and Dallas.

The Florida Panthers are hosting their annual Dads' Trip this weekend, with the team flying to St Louis on Friday to play the Blues on Saturday, then heading to Dallas for a game on Sunday. Some of the fathers attended Thursday's 5-4 comeback win over the Detroit Red Wings at Amerant Bank Arena, where 19,151 fans watched the team rally from three goals down. The fathers were acknowledged on the scoreboard video screen and acknowledged the fans in return.

Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling said of the trip: 'It's going to be a lot of fun. I know my dad, he's very excited. He flew all the way from Sweden, came in (Thursday) night. He's very pumped.' The Panthers have been running these trips since 2017, and some teams in the league have been making them since the late 1990s. The trips typically include a meal for the players and their fathers, suites for the fathers to watch the road games, and bonding activities. When last year's trip took the Panthers to Nashville, the fathers dressed in matching vests, jeans and cowboy hats.
